Lake Placid Stagecoach Inn

What a wonderful little Inn. When we arrived we were greeted by Samantha who was the innkeeper and bartender for our stay. She is a gem and the owners are lucky to have her. She was extremely helpful, outgoing, personable, knowledgeable etc, needless to say she was a joy and I can't say enough good things about her. The Inn itself has a lot of history, very well maintained, very clean with a mix of old and new. It was a little dark in our room and a make up mirror with a light would have been beneficial but lots of hooks to hang up stuff and lots of electrical outlets to plug in our chargers. Unfortunately the restaurant was not open while we were there, but Samantha was our breakfast chef and our breakfasts were excellent. This was our first time staying here and we hope to be able to return again.

So, where do we start! Let's start with Samantha who greeted us when we arrived. Samantha is a Jack of all Trades as she was the hostess, Innkeeper, breakfast cook, cleaner, you name it she did it and what really stood out to us was how she made you feel welcome and would engage in conversation with all the guests and that is huge in this day and age. She is is just such a wonderful pleasant person and we hope the owners know what a gem they have in her, she is the best! Second, the staff that we had the pleasure of meeting, Mark one of the servers and Lindsey another server/bartender, they were both so polite and very knowledgeable of the menu and the Inn itself. Third, William the Chef and his staff who put out excellent dinners both nights we were there. The menu is unique and uses a lot of local fare. These dinners were some of the best we have ever had at Inns and restaurants for that matter and we stay at a lot of inns, so bravo to Chef William and his staff. The drink menu is great and I highly recommend the Night Owl before you call it a night! Fourth, the breakfast menu is also a hidden gem from the Fritta and the Brioche French Toast, both were outstanding. Fifth, let's get to the Inn itself, we absolutely loved the feeling of the Inn when we first walked in as you felt like you were stepping back into the late 1800's as it just felt right. The dining area is cozy and limited so no overcrowding and just a great ambience. We stayed in the Martin Lyon Suite which had a very comfortable King bed, nice old armwa's and a cozy little sitting area. This Inn does sit right off a main road but the traffic noise was minimal. The Inn and rooms are spotless and very well kept. We cannot say enough good things about the Inn and we are already in the process of booking our stay here next year.

My husband and I did the 7 course wine tasting and it was absolutely delightful every course that came out had a perfect mix of flavors. We are looking forward to our next dinner date here, it is the perfect place to celebrate any special occasion, the prices were great and the quality of service and the food even greater, the chef Billy even came out afterwards to say hello and asked how our meal was which was a nice touch he is truly talented. Lilly was our waitress and she was very kind and attentive.
